| has gloss | eng: A ganachakra (Sanskrit: , or gathering circle; Tibetan: ཚོགས་ཀྱི་འཁོར་ལོ། tshogs kyi khor lo) is also known as tsog, ganapuja, chakrapuja or ganachakrapuja'. It is a generic term for various tantric assemblies or feasts, in which practitioners meet to chant mantra, enact mudra, make votive offerings and practice various tantric rituals as part of a sadhana, or spiritual practice. The ganachakra often comprises a sacramental meal and festivities such as dancing; the feast generally consisting of materials that were considered forbidden or taboo in medieval India, where the tantric movement arose. As a tantric practice, forms of ganachakra are practiced today in both Hinduism, Bön and Vajrayana Buddhism. |
